In addition to SKB, check out the cases made by Gator
(http://www.gatorcases.com). They're a direct competitor to SKB, and have
comparable products with slightly different configurations. One of their
DJ Consoles may offer you enough cable space, but take a look for yourself
and see.
I just picked up one of the Gator 12-space racks, rather than an
SKB. Price was actually a bit lower than the SKB, but the deciding factor
for me was the fact that the Gator has rear rails on it (not so on the
SKB's). Thus, I don't have to waste my front rack spaces on items I don't
actually touch after setup, like my quad DI box and dedicated EQ unit.
